OUR STORY

25 years of CFO leadership for companies that needed it most

Interlochen Group is a CFO services firm based in Atlanta, Georgia. Since 2000, we have placed senior interim CFOs with more than 250 middle-market companies. We were built for the moments that matter most — transitions, distress, growth, and every high-stakes inflection point in between.

OUR STORY

Built for moments of transition

For 25 years, Interlochen has been called into middle-market companies during some of their most important business moments – from unexpected CFO departures and financial distress to transactions, refinancing, and periods of rapid growth.

Our model was built around a simple idea: place the most experienced CFOs available, structure engagements around the client’s timeline, and exit cleanly when the work is done.

Over the past 25 years, we’ve partnered with more than 250 middle-market companies across the Southeast and beyond – earning trust one engagement at a time.

WHAT WE DO DIFFERENTLY

Referrals over reach

We don’t measure success by how many engagements we win. We measure it by whether our clients and referral partners would confidently recommend us again.

We believe the best engagements begin with trust. More than 80% of our business comes through referrals from clients and trusted advisors who know how we work. Our role is to provide independent financial leadership that complements – not competes with – your existing advisors.

HOW WE WORK

A clear process for urgent situations

Every engagement begins with understanding your situation – not selling a solution.

  • Assess: We learn your situation quickly — the financial condition, the team, the stakeholders, and the timeline. This takes days, not weeks.

  • Match: We identify the right CFO from our network. Senior-only. Experience-matched to your industry and situation.

  • Deploy: Your interim CFO is engaged within a defined timeline — often within two weeks of the initial conversation.

  • Exit: When the objective is met, we plan a structured transition. Clean. Predictable. No pressure to extend.

“Interlochen stepped in within two weeks of our CFO’s departure. They stabilized our reporting, managed our lender relationship, and gave us the clarity to make the right decisions under real pressure.”
